7. What stories you tell!

Wow! I just did a third reading. You have retained some intriguing stories involving the Moody Blues! Thanks for sharing your memories! My main Moody Blues memory centers on their album "On the Threshold of a Dream." In particular the song "Lovely to See You" by Justin Hayward. It was my favorite track. Still is. A couple of years after the LPs release I was a freshman at Central Connecticut State College in 1971 and fell hard for a girl named Jan. We became good friends, played ping pong in the dorm to games of one hundred. Listened to the Moody Blues together. Alas she returned home for summer break to her longtime boyfriend and ended up marrying him. And broke my heart. And I never told her. Didn't see the point and suffered in silence. You are, in fact, the only person I've told. Thanks for "listening." — Allan

Speaking still of the Moodies —
